"Somebody's waiting for me, and its someone who loves me I know."

voiceCollected by Max Hunter Sung by Miss Goldie Schott Transcribed by James Lee Modell, Arkansas April 3, 1958 Reel 235, Item 7 The Concert Garden It was in the concert garden where the fun had just commenced, All were joyful and the wine begins to flow, At a table in the corner a young man slowly rose and said, Oh its getting late boys and I must go; And another said, "Why sit down Jack, the fun has just commenced." But he slowly shook his head as he replied, Chorus: "Somebody's waiting for me, and its someone who loves me I know." There's a light shining bright in a window tonight, And there is somebody waiting for me. You have got another sweetheart some among them softly said, If she's absent pray Jack introduce us now, "If you will come with me," he answered, "I will show her to you boys, The only sweetheart that I ever knew. They all he led down to a garden, to a . . . window pane, Where a grey haired woman set with bowed down head, That's my mother she's my sweetheart its her I meant tonight, So you see I told the truth boys when I said: Chorus: Somebody's waiting for me and its someone who loves me I know There's a light shining bright in a window tonight, And there's somebody waiting for me.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
